TAKE A SPOOKY STROLL ON OUR

Downtown St. Catharines Ghost Walk

Did you know that lurking spirits cause the shivers one experiences when hearing ghost stories? Don't believe it? Reserve your spot on one of our St. Catharines Downtown Ghost Walks and explore the history and haunted tales of Downtown St. Catharines.

These guided tours will delve into the haunted tales of the past and the present day while also sharing historical commentary about the unique buildings and happenings in Downtown St. Catharines. Walks are 60 to 90 minutes in length and we walk at an easy comfortable pace. Tickets are $10.00 each.

Free parking is available at the Market Square parking lot after 6:00pm. However, if there is a major event taking place downtown the same evening as the ghost walk, you may not be able to find available parking at this lot. Please check the St. Catharines Downtown Association's calendar to see what other events may be taking place downtown.

Tickets must be purchased in advance, and the ticket purchaser's name will be on the guest list the night of the ghost walk. We do ask that you bring your ticket(s) as proof of purchase. Please note that online ticket purchases will appear on your credit card statement as PAYPAL as they are our payment processor.

Is there a minimum age to attend your ghost walks?

No, there is no minimum age but we advise parents to use their own best discretion as to whether their children will enjoy a ghost walk of a historical nature. The haunted history shared by our guides includes reports of murders and suicides.

Can I bring my dog on the walk?

We discourage people from bringing their dogs on the ghost walk. There may be others in the group who are nervous around dogs.

What about weather cancellations / refunds?

Ghost walks are postponed or cancelled in the event of severe inclement weather (thunderstorms, high winds, etc.). Otherwise, we do walk in fair weather and in rainy or cold weather, so please dress appropriately. If severe weather is expected, the decision to cancel will be made by 6:00pm on the evening of the ghost walk. You will be contacted by phone or email and arrangements will be made to put you on an upcoming ghost walk or refund your order. Otherwise, ghost walk tickets are non-refundable.

What can I expect on the ghost walk?

Our ghost walks offer spine tingling tales, fascinating local history and perhaps a chance to feel the spirits of the underworld! Your guide will lead you on a historical walking tour of many Downtown St. Catharines locations. The walks last 60 to 90 minutes so please wear comfortable shoes and appropriate attire for walking outdoors. We do not enter any buildings and there will not be any washroom breaks. Gratuities are very much appreciated by our guides.
